The Brazil international has excelled while playing for Los Blancos, but with Mbappe and Endrick now vying for a spot in Carlo Ancelotti's starting lineup, it may be even more difficult for him to play frequently.
Transfermarkt values Rodrygo at about €110 million (£94 million), and Spanish publication Cadena SER has revealed Arsenal's interest.
Eddie Nketiah appears to be heading out of the Emirates Stadium to join Marseille, therefore the Gunners need to find a new striker to replace the unimpressive and injury-prone Gabriel Jesus. The one thing Mikel Arteta's team could have used more of last season was an all-around goal scorer capable of scoring 20-25 goals a year. Arsenal came very close to winning the Premier League title.
Looking well, Rodrygo might provide AFC with a more natural goal threat in the box than Jesus and other players who have experience playing up front, like Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard, have done.
Although signing a big-name player like Rodrygo won't be affordable for Arsenal, the 23-year-old may prove to be a worthy investment given his impressive track record of significant trophy victories at such a young age.
